Madam, - Translating placenames and Government publications and making Irish an official EU language are hugely expensive and ineffectual undertakings, if the goal is an increase in the spoken language.
While the Government wastes its time and money on these endeavours, there are communities all over the country waiting for schools to be built.
Given that parents are now queuing up to send their kids to Gaelscoileanna, how about some joined-up thinking on this from the Government? - Yours, etc,
EAMON COSTELLO Donabate, Co Dublin.
